Syllogistic Language?

How important is syllogistic language to philosophy?

I picked up a logic text and it begins with syllogistic language but I'm more interested in informal logic, I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not, do I need to study syllogistic logic to have a good understanding of informal logic?

Thanks,

j
